Discover Cala Ratjada in 48 hours: beaches, restaurants and must-do plans in the north-east of Mallorca.
If you are planning a getaway to the north-east of Mallorca, Cala Ratjada is one of those destinations that perfectly combines spectacular beaches, nature and an authentic Mediterranean atmosphere.
Quieter than other parts of the island, but with enough life to enjoy, it is perfect for a weekend getaway or a short stay. In this guide, we tell you what to do in Cala Ratjada in 48 hours so you can make the most of every moment.
Day 1 in Cala Ratjada: first impressions, sea and sunset
As soon as you arrive, the best thing to do is start by connecting with your surroundings.
Morning: Cala Agulla, one of Mallorca’s best beaches
Start the day at Cala Agulla, one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca and, without doubt, one of the jewels of the island’s north-east.
Its fine sand, crystal-clear waters and protected natural setting — surrounded by pine forests — make it the perfect place both to relax and to take your first dip of the trip.
There are small trails leading from Cala Agulla that allow you to discover natural viewpoints and quieter corners.
It is a simple but highly recommended plan for getting to know Cala Ratjada’s more natural side.
Tip: to avoid the crowds, try to arrive early. The morning light also makes the landscape even more spectacular.
Afternoon: Cala Gat, small and charming
In the afternoon, an excellent option is to head to Cala Gat, a much smaller and more sheltered cove than Cala Agulla.
Its size and location make it feel more intimate, ideal for relaxing, reading or simply enjoying the sound of the sea in a more peaceful setting.
Sunset: Capdepera Lighthouse, a must-see
One of the best things to do in Cala Ratjada is to watch the sunset from Capdepera Lighthouse.
Set on an elevated point, it offers open views of the Mediterranean and, on clear days, you can even make out Menorca on the horizon.
The moment when the sun begins to set makes this one of the most special places in the area.
Day 2 in Cala Ratjada: nature, culture and switching off
The second day is ideal for slowing down and discovering other corners of the area.
Morning: coastal walk and views of the Mediterranean
Start the day with a gentle route along the coast. Several paths lead out from Cala Ratjada, following the shoreline and offering spectacular sea views.
There is no need to walk long distances: simply strolling without rushing is part of the experience.
Alternative: if you fancy something different, you can visit nearby Capdepera Castle, a medieval fortress with panoramic views over the whole area.
Afternoon: total disconnection
The second day is perfect for taking things slowly: reading, resting or simply doing nothing. Cala Ratjada invites you to do exactly that.
